A major winter storm that slammed Texas and blanketed the northern Gulf Coast with record-breaking snow moved east Wednesday, spreading heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain across parts of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and eastern Carolinas.
A record-setting winter storm is pushing east this morning after blanketing much of the Gulf Coast in snow and freezing temperatures. The weather grounded flights in states like Texas and Florida on Tuesday.
The NWS said up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) of snow fell in the Houston area. Texas transportation officials said more than 20 snowplows were in use across nearly 12,000 lane miles in the Houston area, which lacks its own city or county plows.
The ice will create hazardous travel conditions on the roads from western Jacksonville and points north and west. But what about those who have flights booked?
